Tracking Down a Difficult Fare

Long-time flyertalk lurker, first-time poster. Am in the midst of booking a rather unusual LHR - EZE - ORD - EZE route for this winter, and am wondering if anyone might have more success than I've had in tracking down a fare that I found on ITA Matrix, but can't (after quite a bit of research, consultation with other flyertalk members, etc) seem to find on my own. Here's the fare I'm trying to find:
If anyone has a tip for locating that fare, I'd be in your debt!

I can get what looks like the same fare by entering the details into http://www.google.co.uk/flights (which is ITA by another name), then clicking through to United. Comes out as 822.40.
